Actual Travel Route, April-July 2010

The map below traces out my travel route from April through July ... from my Washington State home to the top of Minnesota ... visiting national parks, friends and family. It's not exact, but very close my actual route.

I also took a lot of side trips. The route above calculates to about 15,000 miles, whereas I actually put on more than 20,000 miles. I'm averaging about 45 MPG.

To say the least, it's been a great adventure so far ... and I still have the east coast and more to explore!

hi, still making my way through your entire blogspot. We're thinking of UP (upper pennisula michigan) and I see you did that route. Is there a post (or posts) about that section? We're from Massachusetts and are thinking of early to mid June for that trip. With two days driving each direction just to get to the area, do you think we'd be happy with only a week in that area? (I'm thinking, after seeing your route, all along the edge of the great lakes). thanks!! Vicky

Welcome

I travel full time in my Toyota Prius. I started as a part-timer from 09-'16. I call it my "Prius RV" because it's fully self contained. After some early tests, I became totally hooked on being in nature, shunpiking (taking back roads), and exploring local histories, cultures & geology.

-Oct '09: Test trip, Yosemite NP,

-Apr-Sept '10: US National Parks,

-Summer '11: US West Coast,

-Winter '12: US Gulf Coast,

-Summer '13: Short trips with hubby,

-Winter '14: Family & friends, CA-FL,

-Feb-May '15: Snowbird, AZ-UT,

-Fall '15: Family & friends, CA-AZ,

-Winter '16: Friends camping in SW,

-Winter '17: US Southwest

I hope you enjoy these posts of my travels. If you'd like details about how I live out of my Prius, see the links directly below.
